Rooms on Kantorsgatan 12 and 20-26 are newly renovated private one-room apartments with bathroom and complete kitchen. No facilities are shared with other tenants. If you are interested in renting one of these private apartments please send a request by e-mail to info@housingoffice.se when you have completed your formal housing application to let us know your preference.

Cleaning of common areas such as kitchen is the joint responsibility of the students in a corridor. Read more about Swedish student corridor living here.

The rooms are furnished with basic furniture such as a bed and mattress (no pillow or quilt is included), lamp, desk/table, chair, pedestal of drawers or book cupboard.

The monthly rent ranges from approx. 4070-4300 SEK/month in corridor rooms and approx. 5500 SEK/month for the private rooms (autumn 2019). Rent includes electricity, water and heating. Internet is provided by an external supplier. There is wifi in the miniature corridors but in all other rooms you connect via a net cable to the wall outlet.
